Yes I did. Best $10 Ive spent in the last year. So much information.

Do you feel yours described the benefits/detrimental effects you see in everyday life?
The muscle-makeup portion of mine made a ton of sense to me. My body has never reacted well to moderate/lower-weight training. Only heavier lifting (MAX 6 reps) has shown any benefits for me. Seems I have a lot of fast-twitch muscle which also explains why I never excelled at endurance sports but was always good at sprinting.
Yes a ton. It sounds like we had the same result on that one (C;T)
ACTN3 rs1815739(C;T) Intermediate fast-twitch muscle performance
Alpha-actinin-3 is a protein that plays a role in the contraction of fast-twitch skeletal muscle fibers and is encoded for by the ACTN3 gene. This polymorphism, rs1815739 (also known as R577X), is located in the ACTN3 gene. The variant allele, T (sometimes called X), has been reported to introduce a premature stop codon into the gene which prevents the ACTN3 protein from being produced.
This genotype, rs1815739(C;T), may be associated with intermediate fast-twitch muscle performance.
Physical training
Individuals with this genotype (C;T) are recommended to choose high-load low-repetition resistance training to build muscle and high-intensity training (HIT) to improve VO2 max during endurance exercise.

Possible liver trouble with off the charts hematocrit. Need good doctor.
Link me guys. How what do I do here. Is this a genetics test? I’d love to find more info like this about myself.
Like a sprinter or a power lifter.
Strong man competition haha. Bad ass… I’d outrun you in a long distance competition though…

You didn’t reply to a current post - so no one (including me) knows who you were referring to in this thread … or which HCT levels you were commenting on.
I got the Enhanced Fast-Twitch. I legit have very little endurance for distance or higher rep ranges, but I have a lot of strength and explosive power. Seems this genotype is correlated with glaucoma too, which I got diagnosed with last year.
rs1815739 (C;C)
Enhanced fast-twitch muscle performance, more likely to favor sprint/power athletics.

Just get your DNA tested through a company like AncestryDNA, 23&Me, etc. After that you’re entitled to your raw data which you can use on other websites such as Promethease or Dr. Rhonda Patrick’s website:

Oh excellent. Im sure there’s tons of info.This is going to be eye opening !!
Yeah its a lot. Like I have a genetic disposition to not handle saturated fat well and based on that am prone to higher BMI. In other words, saturated fat makes ME fat. I need to chose MUFAs for fat sources and stick to lean meats.
This is what I’m excited about. To find out what my body can handle in terms of nutrition. Talk about jackpot. I’m ordering once I get home. How long does it take to get the results
23andMe took like 3 weeks after they received my saliva sample and then the Rhonda Patrick results at foundmyfitness were nearly instant.
